Join us on 20 March to celebrate the launch of the UK Innovation Report 2025, where we’ll explore how innovation drives sustainable economic growth and creates high-value jobs in the UK.

This comprehensive report from Cambridge Industrial Innovation Policy, University of Cambridge, is designed to support government, industry, and policy leaders in addressing critical socio-economic challenges through innovation.

It examines the nation’s innovation performance and industrial health within a global context and combines data on innovation and value-added indicators with sectoral analyses of core industries.

This year’s report will provide an overview of the competitive position of key UK manufacturing sectors over the last decade, comparing their economic and innovation performance with other leading economies.
